MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge - Sketch 495

Hi All!

Every Wednesday on the My Favorite Things blog they post a new sketch challenge. This week's challenge was to use Sketch 495.

For this challenge I decided to use my new My Favorite Things Die-namics. This die-namic came out in February and it is an awesome sentiment. I really wanted the sentiment to be the star of the card so I used a more calm/neutral pattern as the main strip. For the mini strips I used some of the icon strips to create a bit more pattern on the card. I also inked the back of the card with some green ink to make the mini strips pop off the base of the card.

Supplies Used: White Smooth Cardstock, Black Cardstock, MFT Die-namics (You Take The Cake), Doodlebug Paper - Party Time (icons, strips, confetti), Distress Ink (Twisted Citron), Lawn Fawn Glue Tube

Thanks Laurie

Mother's & Father's Day Cards

Hi All!

Since the stay-at-home orders really came into effect I have been using the time to create lots of cards. I have sent out a lot of the cards to family and friends but two of them were for special occasions in my family - Mother's Day and Father's Day.

Mom really likes the hearts entwined dienamic from My Favorite Things so I decided to use that as the center piece to the card. I diecut it out of three different pattern paper and black cardstock so that I could piece it back to together with cute little patterns as the inlays in the hearts.

Supplies used: White Cardstock, Black Cardstock, Pink Cardstock, MFT Dienamics (Hearts Entwined), MFT Paper - Sweet Celebration (Plaid, Dots, Pink Chevron), MFT Stamps (All About You),  Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Spun Sugar), Lawn Fawn Glue Tube, Memento Black Ink

For Dad's card I really wanted to use the One in a Chameleon stamp set and the Doodlebug birthday boy paper collection. I wanted the chameleon to really be the center piece on the card so I used a lot of cardstock to create neutral spaces and only a few pattern papers.

Supplies Used: White Cardstock, Lawn Fawn Stamp (One In A Chameleon), Doodlebug Paper - Party Time (Streamers, Icons), MFT Paper - Whimsy Woodgrain (Green), Cardstock (Silver, Yellow, Orange), Memento Black Ink, Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Peacock Feathers),Various Copics, Wink of Stella (Clear Glitter), Pop Dots

MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge - Sketch 493

Hi All!

Every Wednesday on the My Favorite Things blog they post a new sketch challenge. This week's challenge was to use Sketch 493.

For this challenge I decided to create a fishy birthday card. I've had this set for a while and sometimes have a hard time creating a card using them. I wanted to create the inside of a fish tank as it helped to create this community scene with the fish and the wavy lines.

Supplies Used: White Smooth Cardstock, MFT Stamp (BB Gill Friends), MFT Stencil (Drifts & Hills), Distress Ink (Tumbled Glass, Tea Dye, Vintage Photo, Crushed Olive, Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn), Memento Black Ink, Various Copics, Pop Dots, Wink of Stella (Clear Glitter), Lawn Fawn Glue Tube

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #78 - Create A Scene

Hi All!

Lawn Fawn has this challenge blog where usually every two weeks a new challenge is posted.  Challenge # 78 is called Create A Scene.

For this challenge I wanted to create a space themed card. It's been a while since I've created a galaxy background with Distress Ink as I had the instructions written on a little scrap piece of paper that got lost in one of my moves from the past few years. So it was nice to experiment with ink to create the background.

Supplies: White Cardstock, Lawn Fawn stamps (Out of this World, Really High Five), Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Mustard Seed, Picked Raspberry, Wilted Violet, Carved Pumpkin, Blueprint Sketch, Black Soot), Memento Black Ink, White Ink, Water, Wink of Stella (Clear Glitter), Various Copics, Lawn Fawn Glue Tube, Pop Dots

Thanks Laurie
